VEX IQ Quadruped

VEX IQ General Discussion VEX IQ Robot Showcase
#1

I’ve been working on a VEX IQ based quadruped. It can now lift itself up, which is no small feat, considering it weighs about 1500 grams. It has 8 motors, two for each leg.

The code for zeroing out the motors still needs a bit of work because it doesn’t give me consistent enough results. I do love being able to use the setMotorStrength() function to make stall detection (and therefore end position) very easy. I am using ROBOTC 4.06 for VEX IQ.

You can watch a video of it doing its leg thing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7uF0Q-Rlt0. The sound volume is quite low, sorry about that.

Source code deffo and construction details will most likely be close up photos and that sort of thing. The VEXAssembler application is a bit hard for me to use :slight_smile:

You can watch me test the gait in this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152096099201815

Still some work to do :slight_smile:

No, I am not. The gait stuff was taken from the Internets, I modified it and made it work with ROBOTC (for VEX IQ).
